GXO takes Agility’s Digit to two more warehouses

GXO, the contract logistics company that put Agility Robotics’ Digit to work in a Georgia facility in June 2024, is expanding to two more U.S. sites: Statesville, North Carolina, and Lebanon, Tennessee. Agility announced the news on October 26. Work is expected to start in early 2027 on the current Digit 4, with a switch to Digit 5 once the new model is commercially available.

The Georgia site is the proof point. Agility says Digit has moved more than 100,000 totes there under a multi-year agreement it calls the first formal commercial deployment of a humanoid in live operations. Going from one building to three is the pattern Agility says it wants with every customer: prove the robot in one place, then spread across the customer’s network.

Agility also said three more manufacturers have joined paid programs: a global automaker that sells more than three million vehicles a year, a large automotive parts and technology supplier, and a consumer products maker. None agreed to be named. They join AGCO, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, Schaeffler and Mercado Libre on the customer list, plus a pipeline of more than 30 prospects, including two early-stage defense subcontracting talks with no signed deals.

Context matters on the bigger numbers. The more than $300 million in Digit 5 orders Agility cites is potential multi-year value tied to milestones, not current revenue. Digit 5 early access is planned for the first half of 2027, with general availability targeted for the end of that year. Agility is also heading toward a Nasdaq listing as AGLT through its merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI, expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026.
